\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Their name sounds like a spooky New England town, but The Midnight Hollow is\u00a0actually a New York City rock band\u00a0who\u00a0recently\u00a0premiered a\u00a0new single.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWalls\u201d is an optimistic approach to their brooding psych-pop that\u00a0singer Spencer Draeger describes as \u201cmore focused and colorful\u201d than the group’s previous work. The single is a dense yet lively track, layered in synths and wavering guitar, and\u00a0pulls off being both meditative and dynamic. They haven\u2019t lost any of their edge that earned them the title of \u201cBand To Watch\u201d<\/a> from Stereogum or \u201cBest New Release\u201d from Spotify. Like any great band that sticks around, their sound is just evolving into something different. For The Midnight Hollow, that means something brighter and more grounded. As Draeger has said: \u201cIt feels good to pull open the curtains and color up the darkness.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The band\u00a0formed in the summer of 2012, and released their first EP, Self-Titled <\/i><\/a>in 2014 after contributing a track for a Zappruder Records compilation in 2013. Draeger writes the band\u2019s songs and plays all instruments on recordings, except for the drums which are supplied by Andrew Segreti. On stage, they\u2019re joined by Matt Leibowitz on bass,\u00a0Vahak Janbazian on percussion, and Katie\u00a0Campo on keys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWalls\u201d will be on The Midnight Hollow\u2019s upcoming EP, For The People Inside,<\/i>\u00a0available in February. You can also catch them in person on March 6th, when they\u2019ll be playing at the Mercury Lounge<\/a> with The Bright Light Social Hour<\/a>. In the meantime, listen to “Walls” below!<\/span><\/p>\n
